On the same night that The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was collecting the Producers Guild award for top comedy series, the show received a more elusive honour — a parody short on Saturday Night Live (SNL).
According to reports on TheHollywood-Reporter.com, Rachel Brosnahan hosted the show and appeared as her award-winning title character for the spoof, The Raunchiest Miss Rita, starring Leslie Jones as an extremely crass comedian. Aidy Bryant did an impression of Alex Borstein’s Susie, and Kyle Mooney appeared as “an even more exasperated Tony Shalhoub.”
Even after Midge took her under her wing, Rita’s jokes get increasingly more expletive-laden and sexual. The sketch ended with a Bill Cosby joke, “This next comic is a lot more wholesome, please welcome William Cosby,” the standup host announced as Cosby, played by Kenan Thompson, took the stage.
